Question : I just had an ultrasound of my abdominal. Can you please explain what this means - A 1.3 cm hyperechoic lesion without definite posterior acoustic shadowing along the gallbladder wall which may represent gallstone versus tumefactive sludge, slightly
increased in size? Is it serious, should I be worried?
